Summary/Abstract: A cultural myth of Slavic world, which, thank to pedagogical and national traditions, almost in an established form had become present in the programmes of Slovak educational institutions, has firmly joined up with a narrow range of generalized information acquired from a historical background, though always with the articulation towards the process of a historical awareness creation of young man. Here belong “the stories” about the Great Moravian Empire, the ruler Svätopluk as well as a wise saying about an internal fraternal fellowship and a wisdom of living, which refers to the narration about the strength hidden in the three sticks. At present, which can be accepted as the stage of a qualitatively oriented penetration of Slovak cultural “heritage” into the awareness of the youngest generation, the returns to Slavic era get nearer to the new content of awareness of the modern Slovak state as well as a well-thought-out interest and asking questions when clarifying avoidable connections about what we today consider “our” Slavic (historical) era.
